I have also noticed that the floating widgets on my Debian system have a 
line at the top with a title, an overlapping windows icon that can be 
used to dock the window, and an [x] icon that can be used to close the 
window.  That is missing in my Windows build.  Is there a way to restore 
it?  If not, can we at least add a button that can be used to dock the 
window?
